Little Tony tells his father that he would like to have a new bicycle.
Dad tells Tony, "There's no way I can afford a new bike right now. The
mortgage on the house is $80,000, your mother just lost her job and wrecked the car."
The next day, the father notices little Tony heading out the door with a suitcase.
He stops little Tony and asks, "Where do you think you're going?"
Tony says, "Well, last night I was walking past your bedroom and I heard
you tell mommy that you were pulling out. She told you to wait because she
was coming, too. And I'll be damned if I'm sticking around here all by
myself with an $80,000 mortgage and no transportation!"
